Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293 Come To My House Tonight 

As if compelled by something, Joseph asked, “Does she regret it?” 

“Does she regret it? Yes, she does! She regrets everything immensely. She cried for days, her heart and mind consumed by thoughts of you!” Emily rambled, simultaneously offering a silent apology to Chloe. 

Although Chloe had not explicitly expressed her regret to Emily, she could sense Chloe’s genuine concern for the relationship. Hence, Emily felt it was time for her to step forward and 

take matters into her own hands. 

“But what good is her regret now? It holds no significance,” Joseph retorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm. 

Emily blinked. “Then go and talk to her. Win her back.” 

His face sank and he ignored her. ‘Talk to her? Win her back? What nonsense. On what basis does she assume that I can’t live without that dumbo?” 

Emily watched as the Rolls-Royce vanished into a swirling cloud of dust, leaving behind a lingering question mark in her mind. 

What did that mean? Did her efforts have any effect? 

Regardless of the efficacy of her endeavors, she had done everything within her power at this point. Whatever happens next rested solely in their hands. 

Once Chloe finished reviewing the financial reports at the Johnsons’ office, she returned home with Benjamin. After spending the night there, she woke up the next day to the warm embrace of sunlight streaming through the window, feeling rejuvenated and invigorated. 

As she made her way to the dining room to get herself a glass of juice, she noticed something was wrong with Benjamin. His face was twisted in pain and he was crouched on the floor, seemingly searching for something underneath the wine display cabinet. 

When Benjamin caught sight of Chloe, he gestured toward himself and then pointed beneath the cabinet, struggling to speak. “The…The medicine… It fell…under…” 

It was only now Chloe remembered that Benjamin suffered from severe asthma and relied on medication to manage his condition as it could pose a threat to his life if left unattended. 

“I see,” Chloe responded in a detached tone as she placed the juice on the table. She knelt down and reached her arm under the cabinet, attempting to retrieve the medicine. After a few futile attempts, she came up empty-handed. 

By this point, Benjamin was drenched in cold sweat, gasping for breath, and unable to utter a 

3/3 

word. Chloe tried again but to no avail. Helplessly, she shrugged. “It seems the medicine may be too far inside for me to reach. Do you have any spare medication?” 

Gasping for breath, Benjamin mustered all his remaining energy to weakly raise his hand and point toward the upstairs bedroom, using simple gestures to convey his message. Every ounce of strength within him was expended in that single act. 

Chloe nodded, her slender legs taking a few steps forward when a thought suddenly struck her and she paused. She turned back and gazed at Benjamin. “Am I the only one who can save you now?” 

Benjamin could no longer speak, but the intense desire to survive blazed in his eyes. 

With deliberate steps, Chloe walked back to Benjamin, her figure towering above him. She observed the shock that was etched across his face, her gaze unwavering. Her voice, now chillingly cold, pierced through the air as she spoke, “Wasn’t my mother in a similar situation before she passed away?” 

Benjamin’s pupils dilated, a mixture of shock, panic, and fear cascading over his features. 

“My mother begged desperately, but you intentionally ignored her pleas. How desperate she must have been to cling to life. What did she do to deserve what she got? You were her legal husband, and what you did verges on deliberate murder!” Chloe’s words sliced through the air, laden with anger and accusation. She shut her eyes tightly, unable to conceal her seething hatred as her voice quivered. “Today, you shall experience the same torment.” 

Summoning his last ounce of strength, Benjamin clutched onto her ankle, his face flushed, hist eyes pleading for forgiveness and brimming with the desperate desire to survive. 

Chloe called Karen and placed the phone in front of him. “You can ask Karen for help. If she’s willing to save you, I’ll immediately go upstairs and get the medicine for you. 

Unfortunately, Karen did not pick up. 

Benjamin struggled to catch his breath, his face contorted with anguish. Deep down, he regretted it all. When he discovered that Ava was not his biological daughter, he was filled with remorse. He had hoped to make amends with Chloe, clinging to the belief that he still had a chance. Little did he know that Chloe had long been aware of the truth. 

In despair, darkness enveloped Benjamin and he passed out. 

Chloe wiped away the tears that welled up in the corners of her eyes and dialed emergency services. Though she desired revenge against Benjamin, she had no intention of violating the law in her pursuit. 

For now, she had a more important task at hand. 

After sending Benjamin to the hospital, she would inevitably have to report the incident to the police. With so many years having passed, the evidence was surely long gone. The only witness who could render Benjamin powerless was Wren. 

However, one hurdle remained. Joseph was the one who had discovered Wren had and Chloe lacked any means to contact her. To locate Wren, she would first need to find Joseph.
